Description

These Cheesecake Cookies are the perfect handheld dessert, combining the rich, tangy flavor of classic cheesecake with the ease of a bar cookie. The base is a tender, buttery crumb crust made with brown sugar and flour, providing a sturdy foundation for the luscious filling. The filling itself is a smooth blend of cream cheese, sugar, egg, and a hint of lemon juice for brightness. Topped with a sprinkle of the reserved crumb mixture, these bars bake up golden and creamy. They are ideal for potlucks, afternoon tea, or satisfying a sweet tooth without the fuss of a full cheesecake. Make sure to chill them thoroughly before cutting for clean squares.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  2. In a medium bowl, blend together the softened butter, brown sugar, and flour with a fork or pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Measure out 1 cup of the crumb mixture and set aside for the topping.
  4. Press the remaining crumb mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of an 8x8x2 inch baking dish.
  5. Bake the crust for 15 minutes. Remove from oven.
  6. While the crust bakes, in a separate large bowl, combine the cream cheese and sugar. Beat with a mixer until smooth and creamy.
  7. Beat in the egg, milk, lemon juice, and vanilla extract until thoroughly combined and smooth.
  8. Spread the cheesecake filling evenly over the partially baked crust.
  9. Sprinkle the reserved 1 cup of crumb mixture evenly over the top of the filling.
  10. Return to the oven and bake for 25 minutes, or until the top is lightly golden and the center is set.
  11. Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
  12. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to firm up before cutting.
  13. Cut into 16 squares and serve chilled.
